BIRTH CONTROL. I didn't like Fire's reproductive decision in the book for a number of reasons (including it felt kind of like genocide in a way) but I love that she had the choice and it was hers to make. "Graceling" was my favorite but I'm looking forward to "Bitterblue."<br /><br />You might enjoy "lips touch three times," ( http://www.amazon.com/Lips-Touch-Three-Laini-Taylor/dp/0545055857 ) which is 3 short YA stories.Brigid Keelyhttp://www.brigidkeely.com/babynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-66234889276357423262011-01-21T13:16:46.595-06:002011-01-21T13:16:46.595-06:00Love all your reviews.

I think Twilight should be rewritten as a comedy, along those lines.<br /><br />I am reading The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa. Great book! I too am slowing down - all this snow in Arkansas is so stressful - work, sitters, driving, blech! I am ready for Spring. Hopefully next week:)Gizabeth Shyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730800855783255834noreply@blogger.com
